Understanding what the media needs from you.
Framing your story and letting go of the corporate brochure.
Answering difficult or unfair questions.
Understanding the importance of body language and other subliminal cues.
Letting go of crutches that interfere with your speech patterns.
Defeating nervousness and self-defeating talk.
Controlling your inner narrative.
How to give an interview from your home or office computer.
